Alex (Gael Garcia Bernal, Y Tu Mama Tambien, The Motorcycle Diaries) and Nica (Hani Furstenberg, Campfire, Yossi & Jagger) are young, in love and engaged to be married. While backpacking in the Caucasus Mountains in the former Soviet republic of Georgia, they hire a local guide to lead them on a camping trek. Venturing into the stunning wilderness, the trio's peaceful adventure takes a dark turn when they encounter an armed man and his two sons; Alex's momentary misstep creates a subtle rift between himself and Nica, which quickly widens until it threatens to destroy everything the couple believed about each other and themselves. Writer-director Julia Loktev takes these young travelers on a journey of self-discovery that reaches into the farthest depths of their own understanding. A unique examination of the parameters of love, The Loneliest Planet is a tale of betrayal, identity, failure and forgiveness, praised as "gripping and haunting" (A.O. Scott, The New York Times), "stunningly shot" (Aaron Hillis, The Village Voice) and "riveting" (Mike Goodridge, Screen International).
